Plastic-Free Sensory Tub Ideas

Develop pre-writing skills and keep your little one entertained with a sensory tub or bin.

Most suggestions for sensory tubs fillers include plastics like toys, beads, balls, flowers, glitter, ziplock bags, foam, etc. Here are lots of ideas for plastic-free, natural items to use instead (well, plus the Lego figure in the photo! But who throws Lego out, right?). All the fun without the waste! Great for kids with sensory needs, keeping the toddler happy while older children or parents are working, exploring seasons and more.
